The Society has held midsummer meetings or outings 
each year since its organization. The first of these 
meetings was at Sebec, July 23, 1908, and was held in 
the Meeting House. An opening address was made by 
President Sprague, and an historical sketch of Sebec was 
read by Major Wainwright Gushing. Major Gushing 
also read a paper on Piscataquis Lodge, F. and A. M., 
written by Judge Martin L. Durgin of Milo. Sketches 
of Ezekiel Ghase and Enoch Brown, Revolutionary Sol- 
diers who had settled in Sebec, were read by Judge Edgar 
G. Smith, who also read a sketch of Peter IJrawn, one of 
the early settlers of Foxcroft. Honorable Arno W. 
King of Ellsworth, justice of the Supreme Judicial 
Gourt of Maine, a corresponding member of the Society, 
was present at this meeting and made a brief address.

1914 

August 25, 1914, the Society held a meeting at the 
Moose Horn Sign Post, where the old Blanchard road 
butts off from the main highway to Moosehead Lake in 
the town of Abbot. At a previous meeting it had been 
voted to replace the Moose Horns which were first erected 
in 1817 and to make this occasion its midsummer meet- 
ing. 

Charles D. Shaw of Greenville, in an appropriate 
speech, in behalf of his brother, Honorable Albert H. 
Shaw of Bath, Maine, presented to the Society a set of 
Moose Horns, which were fixed to a post placed on the 
same spot where had been the old one for nearly a 
century. 

A slate tablet, bearing a proper inscription and pre- 
sented by George H. Wilkins of Monson, was attached 
to the post. 

On behalf of the Society, President Sprague accepted 
the custody and care of this sign post, and delivered an 
address upon its early history and referred to the early 
history of the towns of Abbot and Monson. 

Henry Hudson also spoke, referring to it and to the 
early days of Monson and Abbot. 

One of the interesting incidents of the day was the 
presentation of an American flag to the Society by Harry 
A. Sanders of Greenville, on condition that it be hoisted 
on the sign post on each succeeding anniversary of this 
day and on each Memorial Day and the Fourth day of 
July. 

J. Dexter Draper of the Moose Horn neighborhood 
was appointed custodian of the flag by President 
Sprague.

and masterly address to a large and appreciative audience

kins of Foxcroft ai-ose and in behalf of those present, 
who were not members of the Historical Society, ex- 
pressed their appreciation of the efforts of the speaker 
and how much tliey owed the Society for such a delight- 
ful entertainment, and called on all to manifest their 
gratitude by a rising vote which vvas responded to en- 
thusiastically.
